So no one knows about DD's that are docked? Will they fire?

They'll fire but I don't think they come undocked and chase after you.

They can hit you with deck gun fire, but I don't think they come undocked and chase you down with Depth Charges and Hedgehogs though! I could be wrong, but I haven't witnessed them come undocked. NOTE: Docked doesn't mean anchored in the harbor though. Somtimes the enemy DDs are anchored in the harbor and THEY WILL chase after you if you are spotted. It's the DDs and other ships docked and tied up to the piers that don't!

Heh. With my 1st Flotilla guy (Type IIA) I was going to try and sneak into Loch Ewe w/100% realism. I was going to try and dodge the mines while looking through the observation periscope, underwater, during the day until I hit a subnet. Then I'd wait for night to dolphin over that net...then be very, very careful because there are probably more nets. Get in, hit that Nelson below the middle forward turret at 6 meters depth (BOOM!!!), and then get out. But...TWO BBs? Hmmm....:hmm:

Then all his "saves" disappeared from his career, and I'm not bothering w/the career mode, anymore. Or do a fresh install. Whatever.
